Some Political Points.

The Easton Ledger in reporting some of
the gossip of the recent meeting OF the
Democratic State Central Committee, con-
tains the following:
"Said a prominent Southern Marylander
to a little representative knot that had
gathered. we want Il talking ticket
three candidates who can make a brilliant
speaking canvass all over the State; the
announcement of whose names wlil draw
audiences who can do anything in that
line the canvass reQuires-stand mp II
joint discussions, if The republicans dare
have them, and come off with flying co'ors
That's what We want this year. And II
YOU will make the ticket Barnes Compton,
Frank Turner and Bernard Garter, we've
got what We want right up to the top
NOTCH"
If our esteemed contemporary will sub
stitute the name of Senator Edeler toI
Compton, we think, without detracting IN
the least from the merits of our able and
efficient representative in Congress. that
he will have struck keynote that will
awaken a hearty response in our section
Senator Edelen possesses in an eminent
degree the requisites here spoken of, and
if nominated will make a canvass second
to none ever had in this State. The follow
ing, from the same paper,eSpresses perhaps
as succinctly as could be done, why we
prefer Senator Edelen to Representative
Compton as a gubernatorial candidate al
this time, coupled with Mr.. Compton
positive declination to run:
81 heard Talbot county man obiec'ing
TO taking Compton for governor, because
he is now in Congress from a close district
and a republican might ceme in as his
successor. He spoke as friend of Comp,
toms and said his candidacy under the
circumstances should not be considered
.He should ay where the people have pu'
him, in Congress, and the people should
keep on putting him there

Secretary Lamar has issued arule upon
land grant railroads to show cause why
the orders of withdrawal from settlement
of lands within the indemnity reserve OF
such railroads, heretofore issued by the
Interior Department, should not be re-
voked and the same opened to settlement
and entry. These indemnity grants were
part OF the policy of past Republican ad'
minisfrations, which, in their eagerness to
serve the great and wealthy corporations
have granted to them options in the selec.
tion of the fairest of the public domains
in exclusion of actual agricultural settlers.
But this policy, under the Democratic ad-
ministration,is likely to be sharply revers.
ed. 1t is said that the action about to he
taken by Secretary Lamar will open large
area of the best public lands, which have
been heretofore tied up ia the interest OF
the corporations, to actual settlement. Mr.
Henry George and other leaders who are
crying out for "free land' as remedy fol
the present troubles of the laboring men,
should make note of this.

some colored people undertake to buy
land and enter into partnership with the
landowner to work the land on shares,
hoping thereby to raise enough produce
to maintain themselves and purchase the
land but at the end of the year, or series
of years, they come cut in debt. This is
not always due to any undue advantage
taken, but because the parties do not
know enough about managing business
for themselves TO succeed in their under
takings' The Bishop cited some cases
in which colored men, having received
large amount of money from the sale of
crops. etc, instead OF saving their money
to be applied to meeting their obligations,
spent it in hiring horses and buggles. in

elaborate report, which will be considered

this report Mr.. Donnell proposes the for
nation of a national league OF democratic
clubs, to be in close affilia ion on a COM
mon platform of advanced democratic
principles. The report contains declar-
alton of principles to be the basis of this
democratic league. 1t IS proposed to
pledge the clubs to the following measures
among others: Free from taxation all
raw materials; reduce and equaize Gus
toms duties, especially on necessities; es-
tabIish regular and reliable postal service
with foreign countries offering prospects
for trade, and by all suitable means in the
power of he government to promote COM
mercial intercourse and exchanges with
all countries; place our civil service on
a strictly business basis thus emancipat-
ing it from partisan control; advocate such
laws as will guard the ballot box from
fraud and put an end to bribery: to ad-

In another place the Ga.ette saws:

/ It is said that the President will exer-
else no undue haste in selecting the sue
cessor of the late Associate Justice Woods
nf the United States Supreme Court. There
is no reason why an immediate appoint
ment should be made, as the work in the
ST 1th judicial district has been performed
without any assistance from the Supreme
Court during Justice Woods protracted
illness Upwards OF twenty names bave
been suggested to the President, among
them being Secretaries Bay ard, Lamar and
Attorney General Garland. In justice to
these gentlemen it is said that they have
never mentioned the Subject to him, nor
has he alluded to the matter in their pre-
sence except in general way. Tbs Pres
ident will probably take no sep towards
filling the vacancy unit! be has had time
to fully consider the que.tion in all its
bearings. 1t is not thought probable that
he will offer tn, robe to any of the present
members of his cabinet; as he is averse to
making any further changes in his official

name has also been mentioned in cennec-
tion with the vacant judgeship, while ct
the White House recently said that be had
not talked with the President on the sub
ject, and he would not introduce it, for il
the President desires any suggestions from
him he will not hesitate to request them
The Senator says he is in no sense an as
pirant, as he prefers to be Senator. In
his opinion no selection will be made un-
til Congress meets, as it would hardly do
to place Judge upon the Supreme Bench
and allow him to perform the functions Of
such high judicial office before be is
confirmed by the Senate besides, 1t would
not be unnatural for man whose nomina-
tion was pending before the Senate to al
low personal considerations to influence
his judgment. The constitution makes
the office life position, and it should not
begin until the new judge can enter upon
his duties free to exercise bis judicial
knowledge and judgment without being
hampered by speculating upon what ac-
tion the Senate will take upon his nomi-
nation.

any choice as to the Gubernatorlsl can

for what will appear to be the good OF The
party in the State Southern Maryland
may have a candidate in the person OF the
Hon Richard H. Edelen, who has been
mentioned in this regard. 1t is quite safe
to say that should be consent to suffer his
name to be presented to the convention,
that he would command the suppor oi
the State, as be has many admirers all
throughout Southern Maryland. and has
made hosts OF friends in the ) ate on ac-
count of his stirling worth and great legal
attainments. Without any pledge of our
support to Mr. Edcleu, we will say that 1t
is our belief that he wi make 4 strong
